Go I agree, as for Python using it on and off since version 1.6, that would be a very very basic knowledge after one day.

Since you mention Go, placing dynamic and static on the same basket.

Common Lisp, Scheme, Raket, Clojure, Scala, Kotlin, F#, OCaml, Pharo, JavaScript/Typescript.

There are other candidates, only listing the ones with good out of the box REPL experience, JIT/AOT toolchains in the reference implementation, and not going crazy with their type systems for strong typing.

One of the strengths python has is its ecosystem. All the languages you listed don’t come close to python’s ecosystem except perhaps TypeScript/nodeJS (whose quality of ecosystem is questionable although improving in recent times).
